I'm a nurse at the local hospital and With a population of 45,272, Brentwood is a smaller city. Average temperature is around 58--F, so the weather is moderate. Homes are going for about $926,700 on average. Poverty rate is 1.7%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $926,700, which is pretty steep. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Anyone in a similar situation? Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The suburbs are where most families end up.
